Harambee Festival

The Iconic Benedict College Harambee Festival Will Be Held in the Charlie W. Johnson Stadium as the College Proudly Continues the Legacy of the Festival Which Has Been a Thirty-four-year Signature Event in Columbia, South Carolina, and Wider Communities. It Has Sustained Its Existence Through Interpretation of History, Presentations Through the Arts, Culture, and Humanities, With Outstanding Stage Performances, a Children’s Learning Village, a Women’s and Men’s Village, Free Health Screenings, Continuous Stage Performances, Merchandise Vendors, and the Best Food Found Anywhere.

The Festival Provides Learning Experiences for Children and College Students, Public Service Information to Improve the Lives of Attendees, and Opportunities for Organizations to Merchandise Their Products Before Thousands of Consumers. It Also Allows Benedict College to Continue Its Commitment to Improve the Economic, Social, and Cultural Conditions in Our Community, Including the Positive Impact That the Festival Has on the Local Economy.

In Order to Sustain and Expand This Worthwhile Cause, I Am Appealing to You for Financial Support. Specifically, There is a Need to Significantly Increase Medical Screenings, Improve the Learning and Social Skills of the Youth and College Students by Incorporating More Outstanding Exhibits, Displays, and More Positive Presenters, Role Models, and Performers Who Have Influence in the Lives of Thousands of Attendees. Please Take Advantage of This Opportunity for Your Organization Not Only to Support a Positive, Value-added Festival to Our Community but Also Provides Your Organization Opportunities to Showcase and Introduce Your Products and Services to a Diverse Market.
